Section 1. Section 87-2-104, MCA, is amended to read:
"87-2-104. Number of licenses, permits, or tags allowed -- fees. (1) It is unlawful for a person to apply for, purchase, or possess more than one license, permit, or tag of any one class or more than one special license for any one species listed in 87-2-701. This provision does not apply to Class B-4 or Class B-5 licenses or to licenses issued under subsection (4) for game management purposes. However, when more than one license, permit, or tag is authorized by the commission, it is unlawful to apply for, purchase, or possess more licenses, permits, or tags than are authorized.
(2) It is unlawful for the holder of a replacement license, permit, or tag to make the replacement license, permit, or tag available for use by another person.
(3) The department may prescribe rules and regulations for the issuance or sale of a replacement license, permit, or tag if the original license, permit, or tag is lost, stolen, or destroyed upon payment of a fee not to exceed $5.
(4) When authorized by the commission for game management purposes, the department may:
(a) issue more than one Class A-3 resident deer A, Class A-4 resident deer B, Class B-7 nonresident deer A, Class B-8 nonresident deer B, or special antelope license to an applicant; and
(b) issue a special antlerless moose license, a special cow or calf bison license, or one or more special adult ewe mountain sheep licenses to an applicant.
(5) For all of the game management licenses issued under subsection (4), the commission shall determine the hunting districts or portions of hunting districts for which the licenses are to be issued, the number of licenses to be issued, and all terms and conditions for the use of the licenses.
(6) When authorized by the commission for game management purposes, the department may issue Class A-9 resident antlerless elk B tag licenses and Class B-12 nonresident antlerless elk B tag licenses entitling the holder to take an antlerless elk. Unless otherwise reduced pursuant to subsection (7), the fee for a Class B-12 license is $273. The commission shall determine the hunting districts or portions of hunting districts for which Class A-9 and Class B-12 licenses are to be issued, the number of licenses to be issued, and all terms and conditions for the use of the licenses.
(7) The fee for a resident or nonresident license of any class issued under subsection (4) or (6) may be reduced annually by the department. When the commission authorizes the department to issue additional Class B-8 nonresident deer B licenses for antlerless deer under subsection (4), the department may reduce the fee for the initial Class B-8 license issued to an applicant."
